Snailbeach Sunday, 009

Posted on June 29, 2025 by bawdsey

A couple of days back I wrote about Red Wharf Bay, memories of an Iain Rice plan, jogged by standing on a beach watching the tide roll in. The beach features in this post too, but of an entirely different … Continue reading →

Transformation Tuesday, Paint

Posted on March 29, 2022 by bawdsey

It’s only a week since I completed Shelfie3’s wiring, and noted that that point in time was likely to be a spur onwards in the project. As I expected it did just that. The next notable step has been painting … Continue reading →

Transformation Tuesday, Relax…

Posted on March 22, 2022 by bawdsey

Well what’s the transformation then? Beer? nope, no change there, DMU?, nope, no change, a shelf layout?, nope, still no change. The reason for popping the top off this cool one, is the transformation in operating this layout, Shelfie 3. … Continue reading →

Transformation Tuesday Bachmann 4575

Posted on January 25, 2022 by bawdsey

Today is probably one of the final sections of modifying this Bachmann 4575xx. Dug out by a friend from his scrap pile the footsteps were broken and it had the original Bachmann chimney, and no chassis. It’s one of the … Continue reading →

Transformation Tuesday Mosquito

Posted on August 24, 2021 by bawdsey

Today has been a ‘down day’, a short gap between work cycles, and a day off from Viking Challenge preparation, I thought I’d ring the changes by breaking out some other plastic. Like many in the hobby I started out … Continue reading →

Transformation Tuesday, Going with the Grain

Posted on April 20, 2021 by bawdsey

Working on several projects simultaneously is common for me, and the grain cars here are no exception. With significant changes at the house it made sense to use some of the time available to kick start Shelfie4. Going between Shelfie3 … Continue reading →
